@CoronaForever I think you can follow that and use one book to cover whatever seems to be not covered. People generally use Spectrum for modern history as it is small compared to other books and cover most of the part.

@thistooshallpass For headache, what worked for me was a proper sleep, drinking water every hour or so and as I mostly use laptop for study, I try to take 10-15 minutes off after studying for roughly 1.5 hour. Can try these and see if it helps.

Also can you guys tell me the utility of Shankar IAS for env. Have seen some toppers not follow it or say it is too much. If only certain chaps are important can you guys tell which ones? For Env apart from chem 11 chap on env chemistry n ecology from bio among ncerts, monthly mags, is there anything else that we need to do? Similarly for S&T do we have to do any particular chap from any specific ncerts needed or monthly mags cover them sufficiently?

thank you

Yeah, I also found Shankarias to be very boring while studying. I think it has somewhat information overload but due to FOMO I decided to complete it. You would get to know which things are needed to be memorised after seeing PYQ  else you can also try Visionias environment notes as my one friend suggested it. 

And last 4 chapters of 12th Biology are also important for theoretical part. Apart from that I do the current affairs from Vision magazine.

For S&T I just read CA and no book. I do not think it would be of much help as most of them are based on CA and then somewhat guesswork which I found traditional concepts in books are not very relevant for solving PT questions.

@DeekshitaP Appreciate your intent but someone mocking people when they expose their vulnerabilities is not providing different perspective but just being a bully seeking attention or making such comments due to his/her own insecurities.
